Zero Skateboards is bringing a strong message of faith into skateboarding with the release of a new pro model for Ryan Sheckler.
The new Holy Cross pro board shows Sheckler’s belief in Jesus Christ and the call to share the word of the Lord with others.
It is now official that Sheckler has joined the Zero family alongside longtime team leader Jamie Thomas.
Thomas has spoken openly for years about his faith in Jesus and about living a life that reflects Christian values.
Many skaters already know that his belief in Christ is an important part of who he is, and he has never been shy about talking about God, scripture, and the importance of doing good for others.
With Sheckler now riding for Zero, the connection feels natural.

Both skaters openly identify as followers of Jesus and have shared messages about faith with their fans over the years.
For Thomas and Shecks, skateboarding is not only about tricks or contests. It is also a way to connect with people and speak about the love of God.
That is where the new Holy Cross pro board comes in.
The graphic centers around the cross, one of the most recognized symbols in Christianity and a reminder of the sacrifice made by Jesus for humanity.
For many believers, the cross represents forgiveness, grace, and the promise of salvation.
Seeing that symbol on a skateboard deck brings a piece of that message into a place where young skaters spend much of their time.
Skate culture has always been about expression. Graphics often show art, rebellion, humor, or personal beliefs. In this case, the graphic carries a message about faith and the gospel.

For MAGA Christians, it is a chance to represent their belief in Christ while doing what they love.
Sheckler has spoken in the past about how important his relationship with Jesus is in his life. Through good times and hard moments, he has often credited his faith with helping him stay grounded.
For many fans who grew up watching him, seeing him openly talk about Jesus has been meaningful.
Thomas shares that same outlook. Over the years he has talked about reading the Bible, praying, and living according to Christian teaching.
He has also spoken about the importance of kindness, humility, and helping others. Having another believer like Sheckler on the team adds another voice sharing the same message.
The release of the Holy Cross board shows how faith can appear in everyday places, even in skateboarding.

A skateboard deck might seem simple, but it can also carry a symbol that points people toward something deeper. For some riders it may start conversations about Jesus. For others it may simply be a reminder of their belief when they step on their board.
Zero also shared the news on social media announcing that the boards and shirts are now available through their website.
